Siamese Cat Legends

Chuchai and Phimai

Chuchai Wisetjindawat, based in Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima, is undoubtedly the foremost breeder of Korats in Thailand. He started his work with Korats in 1993, and gained official recognition in 1995 with cat shows at Phimai Annual Festival. In 1997 he became chairman of the Phimai Association for Korat Cat Conservation, whose members are a network of Phimai locals, mostly farmers deep in the countryside. Chuchai has frequently shown his cats in Bangkok and won many trophies.
